Fall Luminaries

Jenny, at My Three Girls, found this very pretty craft and we just had to make it. It came from the Kaboose website, which is just full of great activities to do with the kids.
First, we gathered our materials:

glass tealight candle holders

tealight candles

white glue

leaf stickers

tissue paper

Note: Jenny used real leaves, and they were just beautiful. I saw the stickers above at the craft store, and then remembered this activity, (I often do crafts backwards-get supplies first, and then look for a craft after the purchase)

Since we used stickers and not real leaves, we just stuck the stickers to the glass candle holder.

Mix white glue with equal parts water, and brush this onto the glass. We did this in little sections at a time, because my crafters tend to craft s-l-o-w-l-y. We then stuck tissue paper that we had torn into small pieces onto the glue.

After putting the tissue paper onto the glass, "paint" another layer of glue over all the tissue.
When extra-small children get up from their nap early, quickly get the help of a nearby teenager, or everything will get very sticky. If the three year old sticks his finger in the glue and says, "This is glue, Kimmy, eat it!", don't let Kimmy eat it and then remove the three year old from the work area.
Let this dry for a few hours, and then place a tea light inside and sit back and admire your beautiful work.
